Can we connect the input into a web server with Matlab ?

I am using following web server.

http://210.60.98.19/FORAr/fora.htm

Go to -> Prediction Menu -> Predict Dln(kf) (folding rate change in logarithmic value) from sequence-based information. [Enter].

A webpage will open which has 8 input tabs viz neighbors (3 tabs), wild (1 tab), neighbors (3 tab), mutant (1 tab) .

Once we click on submit for default input values, it gives the following output: " The predictive result for the mutant (in logarithmic value) is decelerating (-0.8589 /sec) "

I have an excel sheet with 1000 rows (total no of inputs) and 8 columns (corresponding to each tab) .

Can I write a code, which can automatically take the corresponding input from each row of the excel sheet and enter into the corresponding tab of the web server to get the output (i.e. the value mentioned in red -0.8589 ).

I need to store 1000 such output values in 9th column of the same excel sheet.

Otherwise I would have to manually enter the 8 inputs for 1000 such entries. Can we somehow automate this using matlab ?
